The exon tiling array offers a high throughput technology to search for aberrant splicing in biomedical research, but few methods of analysis for splicing detection have been tested both statistically and empirically. Noisy measurements on nonresponsive probe selection regions and outlying...

Quantile regression offers a semiparametric approach to modeling data with possible heterogeneity. It is particularly attractive for censored responses, where the conditional mean functions are unidentifiable without parametric assumptions on the distributions. A new algorithm is proposed to...

Quantile regression in the presence of fixed censoring has been studied extensively in the literature. However, existing methods either suffer from computational instability or require complex procedures involving trimming and smoothing, which complicates the asymptotic theory of the resulting...
